Dream catchers

To day at work in the children's ward class room in Exeter I made dream catchers with the children this is the one I made, but I think you will agree the kids ones are better. We also had time to make theses simple hair bands by looping fabric strips around a hair band .

 one I made in the shop the day before to test them out. Got a bit carried away and the strips were getting longer.

 Wonderful dream catchers to hang on there hospital beds. Well done girls.

 

 

It is this easy. Jumpers that have been boiled in the washing machine work well. Have fun. x

 We will be making theses on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th of April .In Sidmouth East Devon, if anyone fancies having a go.

 Mosaic Angel workshop with hesta.

My magic meaningful moments of last week.

 Thanks to one of my favourite blogs hettie brown. After reading her post it got me thinking of what really mattered this week. Always number one, being with my family.

 Second having my mum stay for a whole week.  Doing all my mending next to me while I tried my hand at making nettle tea, laughing when it made the whole kitchen smell horrid. Thanks mum for being so dear.

 

 
                                 
Thirdly it felt good to be working in Exeter's city hospital again on the children's ward with some very poorly kids of the bravest kind always a humbling time. I think they teach me so much. Thanks guys and see you next week for more woolly making..

 

Thank hettie brown for making me take time to reflect.

Carla is a star bringing lots of people from honition not sure how she fits so many in one car, best not to ask. Alison made the little sheep and the rather lovely crocheting hooks are from www.fleabubsbylala.co.ul

Yippy its spring we can sow are seeds

Girls wearing ties.

 Did you watch the sewing bee last night. I love how one of the female  contestant was wearing a blue tie with a bright shirt.

Not normally an avid follower of fashion, but I did love this so went rummaging through my husbands ties all of which I found two, his wedding tie and lucky for me this one, him being a horticultural lecturer and gardener I don't suppose he needs many ties, anyway, a bit posey I know, but this is me in my new tie. I think I may make a few ties up on the sewing machine soon.

More than just a Knitting Group.

Seasalt Sam with this woolly anchor and catch. I made him from the loop knitting book.

Yippy its Friday off to set up for Sidmouth knitting Group. This Knitting group has become a great success, but nothing to do with me setting it up, but because of the wonderful kind, warm women who come every week. I remember finding the perfect church room and persuading two friends Lizzie and Beth to run it with me. Beth came up with the fab name for us three The Traveling Woolberries. Now Both Claire and Beth kept it going so well especially  when I had my op and took a year to get well, It is so popular I think the homemade cakes, china cups, fresh flowers and linen table cloths help. I've been bard from baking as my cakes are so bad. So thanks girls. It is more than a knitting group its a woolly anchor for a lot of people including me. Claire from the Sidmouth Poppy blog keeps our Sidmouth Knitting group blog so have a look at us all. Happy Weekend and hope you have your own Knitting club . hx
